Any chance of using the Dragonflies for their intended purpose (i.e. getting rid of pesky drones)?

Same problem as earlier with the drones: Location, location, location.

Let's wrap up this run and start looking to the future. There are, of course, some unanswered questions but I'll leave you to tell me which ones you want answered.
Val has the payment, which was low (by design). It might also be a good time for Val & Hardwire to get better acquainted. If you two would figure out some posts for a few days, I will hold off the next major in game action till then. Slick & Toad are also expecting some payment.

Val: +11 Karma (currently 21 in the bank) & +6 CSP
Hardwire: +6 karma for in game objectives & preplot. +3 CSP

CSP = [Common Sense Points] Kind of a house rule on Dumpshock. They are effectively karma for knowledge skills.

Let me know how the money is split and any expenditures of karma, CSP or nuyen.

Val will follow up on the gym locker and stake out the office that held the photo of the women. As for the nuyen ill figure hardwire was getting athenas share so split even amonst all. Not a huge take but a sucessful one at least so to speak.

Val will be looking to spend that karma on clearing up his memory issues.

I will make a ic post about looking into his past and recovering his past.

4,000 . 6 Runners, so 666 each? Umbra is hard to find at the moment. Give his share to Arkansas or hold it?

Removing a negative quality is BP Bonus x2 (SR4a, pg 270). That's 50 Karma Dude.

Fire away.

I'll give it to Arkansas since he is available and ill see about getting funds for umbra another way.

The original job would be interesting, was there some specific target or just a bunch of random med-tech and drugs?



Been a busy week, looks like I'll finally have time for that tomorrow evening (CET).

I reset my Access ID before disconnecting, and once HW has awoken from his IC-hangover I Compile a little Data Sprite to run a background check on Val and the crew...HW knows many cases of metahuman experimentation and knows he'd be an interesting guinea pig for several corps, so a healthy bit of paranoia is in order.

I fast forwarded the team (Hardwire & Val) to the next day. Please include anything you do between in either/both your IC/OOC post. Please include a descriptive post of your character as you enter the bar.

Also, Almost Normal is joining the crew with Tadhg.

Heya folks, looking forward to roleplaying with you.

Hello there, looks like this is no longer the lost party ^^

Woot no more ganger grunts lol j/k RJ that was pretty cool.

Hit by Sandy pretty hard. Ill post when I've got steady power.

http://www.nj.com/ocean/index.ssf/2012/10/...from_sandy.html is just a few miles from me =/

Post in when you can. We can hold a bit while you dig out.

<3 work got internet back today! Woooooo!

Post up at lunch. Thanks for waiting folks. Been bad out here. Half of my county still has no power at all. Looters are coming out and everything. It's been ugly.

Glad power is back hope the looters are taken care of though.

Sounds like you are right in the mood for a barrens campaign...

(on a more serious note, I hope you still have a roof over your head and everything. Power comes back in a week, a house doesn't)

Thanks for the well wishes.

Post is up. Leo = Law Enforcement Officer. If anything else is unclear, lemme know. The post felt odd to me.

I guess you have enough social dice to make me feel oddly confident about that stranger who just hit on me?

Amongst other things. He wasn't trying to hit on anyone, if that's the question, and as a rule, I don't like rolling social skills against players unless it's in everyone's best interests. Rolling a leadership check to break someone out of a stupefying fear, for instance.

In this particular case, He's stated his reasons for wanting the two of you to go upstairs, and in his opinion, it's sound reasoning. If you choose to disbelieve him, distrust him, whatever, that's fine, he's not really laying it on thick.

I'd like to hear his take on val considering either one doesn't know anything about his past.

Sure, I doubt anybody likes having his char effectively mind-controlled by another player. But sometimes social pools are helpful for judging the initial reaction of characters to each other


Anyway, it's a busy week for me. Just assume Hardwire trotting along and borrow his voice if necessary.

House still doesn't hAve power. Posting this from my phone. Was told we might get it back Saturday night. That'd be nice. If not, ill charge the phone up in my car and post from the phone in this thread, and hopefully one of you nice folks could edit it and get the colors right and proper. I don't want to delay posting any more then neccesity demands.

Np man I hope u guys get the powed turned back on soon. No worries about holding anything up. Hope you and your are being taken good care of.

As you might have guessed I'm back again...looks like I didn't miss much ;)

Threading ECCM (because asking to be excluded from the jammer might be suspicious)
- Resonance 5 + Software 4: 9d6.hits(5) → [3,4,4,1,5,1,5,1,5] = (3)
- Soak 3 S with Resonance 5 + Intuition 5: 10d6.hits(5) → [5,2,6,4,6,1,3,5,6,6] = (6)

After all that nonsense, I picked up a cold. Sleeping in refrigerator like temperatures due to lack of power isnt good for the immune system it seems. So I was out of it for a few days until I went to the doctor yesterday, who prescribed me some heavy narcotics. So now Im out of it, but pleasantly, lol. I cant catch a break.

Composure test. Getting a gun pulled on him, even for a moment, gets a little shocking I'd imagine.

10d6 → [6,1,6,2,5,2,1,4,6,5] = (38)

6 hits

Crit success, or at the very least, not peeing his pants.

Rating 3 ECCM

Jamming causes a reduction of signal by 1 per rating, reducing in strength by one every 5 meter from the jammer. ECCM counters that reduction for the device with ECCM.
Jammer R4 vs ECCM R3 and Signal R3 => Effective Signal R2 = 100m. Matrix is spotty at best.

-------------

I like the developing story. Right now I think a GM post wouldn't add anything, so I'll let you all continue. Keep it going, ping me when you need anything.

I like the character interactions right now feeling each other out so to speak..

Giving it a few days in case one of you wants to stop Tig from going downstairs.

Its all good.

You got me here Satyr. Bolstering?

bol·ster (blstr)
n.
A long narrow pillow or cushion.
tr.v. bol·stered, bol·ster·ing, bol·sters
1. To support or prop up with or as if with a long narrow pillow or cushion.
2. To buoy up or hearten: Visitors bolstered the patient's morale.

Actually a grmical error on my part but it kind of fits lol
Verb
Support or strengthen; prop up: "the fall in interest rates is starting to bolster confidence".
Provide (a seat) with padded support: "the heavily bolstered seat".

I still don't know what you mean. =/

Think of a Russian speaking elf walking around the table almost admiring the craftsmanship of the ares pred, but also having no hesitation as to where the barrel is pointed. Not knowing whether the safety is on or not

Great. =/

Assuming none of the programs work on a magical power (or it's defense),

Using Commanding Voice.

My Charisma + Leadership

against

Val's Willpower + Leadership

11d6 → [6,6,6,5,2,1,3,2,6,3,6] = (46) 6 hits

Might possibly edge, depending on the result of Val's roll.

I'll take the +1 penalty (bonus to Val) and include Hardwire, just in case he's packing heat too. Val remains the main target. (

Yep, revolver...but since I'm not holding it I'd do a quickdraw test if you are successful, just to see what goes wrong

Oh, I'm half expecting a bullet to get fired and a hot gun to go spinning towards my face.

At least nobody should get shot, Electronic Firing and all...

So, anybody heard from Val recently?

Saw one of his posts in another RP thread a few days ago. I was just glad we didn't get stuck in some recursive hurricane loop.

Sorry lost track of time lol I will post up today. A 4 dp unless he discovers another skill he didn't know he had. I figure val will be tossing his weapon lol.

Initiative rolls, number of passes and statement of first action please.

Initiative roll http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3803904/ 5 hits =15 val will post up by the door once hearing the shots just outside of the doorknob side back facing the corner of the room keeping hardwire and thug in sight.

Invisible castle got bought up. 7 dice for initiative, 4 hits from http://www.random.org/dice/?num=7. 11 on init. 2 passes. Going to go downstairs with both newly acquired guns in hand, held above head as if to surrender. If the shooters are there for Tig, he doesn't want anyone getting shot. If they're there for someone else, he's going to try to talk them down from violence.

- Did the gun throwing happen or was the shooting RJ's way of telling us to stop that drek?
- I'm assuming HW has the same loadout as during the first time going to the bar, i.e. ballistic vest, revolver, and Fly-Spy Dragonfly...but no reloads for anything


8 dice for Initiative, 1 success -> INI 9, 1 IP

Actions once I know if who has the guns (getting one's gun taken just before the shooting starts might cause some suspicion) and if Val reacts to Tig's move

Got bought up?
------------------
Val having a Charisma of 3 and not having leadership, pretty much surely loses out against Tig's power in a test of wills.
Tadghtries to catch the weapon: Agility(3) + Default Athletics or Thrown Weapons(-1) + Bonus for ease of a toss(+2) + Penalty for distraction of weapons fire simultaneous with the toss(-2) = dp2 [5,5] = 2 hits

Tadgh's quote was "Toss me the gun!". OOC above says "both newly acquired guns in hand". He does not have multiple guns from the team, only Val's Predator, which was holstered and was the gun that was previously in his hand. Ingram is still on the sling, under his jacket.

Hardwire has his regular load out.
------------------
Initiative
15(3) - Val
11(2) - Tig
09(1) - Hardwire

Hardwire's action, Val's next. On the next movement pass, Tadgh can open the door to bar (simple action).

Oh, it's back now. It was down for a day. Looked like the domain got scooped up by some jerk company. Glad to see they got it back.

Not exactly sure how to continue, Guess I'll wait and see what happens with Val.

Yep, some domain grabber seemed to have taken over IVC for a day or so. Glad it's back


I'm imagining something like an underhand pass for the jammer, enough to make it roll downstairs but with a fair chance of staying intact...and hopefully Tig hears the call before freaking out at the "grenade"
